Construction Site Supervisor

Job Description

Job Description

Overview

Rushmore Construction Group is looking for an experienced, hands-on Site Supervisor to be the boots-on-the-ground presence across our active residential job sites. This is a field-first role — you’ll spend the majority of your time on site, working directly with subcontractors to make sure work is being done right, to code, and on schedule. You won’t be managing budgets or client relationships — that’s the PM’s job. Your job is to know construction inside and out, hold the line on quality and compliance, and make sure every trade that comes through is executing to the plans and to Rushmore’s standards.

What You’ll Do

Site Oversight & Quality Control

• Serve as the primary on-site presence across multiple active residential construction projects
• Monitor subcontractor work daily to ensure it meets plans, specs, and Rushmore’s quality standards
• Verify that the correct materials, fasteners, and methods are being used at every stage — down to the details
• Conduct quality control walkthroughs before work advances to the next trade
• Identify deficiencies early and work with subs to resolve them before they become bigger problems

Plans & Code Compliance

• Read and interpret construction drawings, plans, and specs
• Translate plan requirements into clear on-site direction for subcontractors
• Ensure all work complies with current NJ residential building codes and inspection requirements
• Coordinate with inspectors as needed and flag any compliance issues to the PM

Subcontractor Coordination

• Confirm subcontractor arrival dates and sequencing in alignment with the master schedule
• Maintain a clear understanding of each subcontractor’s contracted scope and flag any attempts to upsell, expand scope, or substitute materials outside of what was agreed — escalating to the PM when needed
• Hold trades accountable for scope, timeline, and workmanship while on site
• Communicate issues, delays, or scope conflicts to the PM promptly

Punch Lists & Closeout

• Maintain and execute rolling punch lists throughout the build
• Ensure punch list items are completed in a timely manner ahead of each phase transition and final closeout
• Prepare site for handover in coordination with the PM

What We’re Looking For

• Minimum 3 years of hands-on experience in residential construction — you’ve worked in the field and know how a house goes together
• Strong working knowledge of NJ residential building codes and construction best practices
• Ability to read a full set of construction drawings and translate them to on-site execution
• Detail-oriented — you notice when something’s wrong before it gets covered up
• Street-smart about the trades — you know the games subs can play and you don’t get taken advantage of on site
• Strong communicator who can hold subcontractors accountable without burning relationships
• Valid driver’s license and reliable transportation (role requires travel between active job sites)
• Someone who takes pride in doing things the right way — not just the fast way

Compensation & Benefits

• 65-80k + performance bonus, commensurate with experience
• Mileage and gas reimbursement
• PTO
